Cubs Edge Cardinals in Thriller | MLB News

The Cubs and Cardinals delivered a wild NL Central showdown, with St. Louis taking two of three but the Cubs rallying for a dramatic win in Game 3 — proving the division race is tighter than expected. After a brutal first two games where the Cubs scored just one run, they exploded for four in the sixth inning, fueled by Cardinals errors and a clutch RBI double from Alex Bregman. Pitcher Javier Assad silenced the Cardinals for nearly five innings, rebounding from a shaky outing to anchor the bullpen. With the series tied and the division battle heating up, this was a pivotal moment — the Cubs avoided a sweep, but the Cardinals are still a dangerous force. The NL Central just got a whole lot more unpredictable.
